Today I've been at the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu. They were really thankful about the donation. They were also happy because they recognized the quality of LEGO and how useful are the LEGO bricks helping kids with lacks.They are going to use all the sets in the playroom of the Hospital, or in special rooms when kids are not allowed to play in common areas.The polybags will be given to kids who suffer because of some medical test.

Instead of post some pictures, check this link. My wife has done a small video of the donation.

I dropped of the Lego to the Canberra Hospital Paediatrics department the other day.

They have just sent me some pictures to share with everyone.

"Thank you so much for your involvement in donating Lego to Paediatrics at the Canberra Hospital. The Lego was a HUGE hit! It was fantastic seeing the smiles on the faces of not only the children themselves but also their parents. I have attached photos of some of the children that received the Lego.

Also, we would love to put a post on our Facebook page in recognition of yourself and the Brickset Forum if that’s ok?

Thanks again"

Just wanted to say another huge thank you to @SirKevbags as without him and his organisation none of this would have happened. Also thanks to everyone who bought tickets, it really did make a difference to the sick kids.

Big thanks go out to many Brickset members for contributing a good number of those CHI Battles sets, which were given out for free in every order by [email protected] in the U.S. Also a big thanks to @graphite, who was able to pick up many of those Creator sets at 50% off at Target and worked to get them to me via Brickworld, so as to avoid any shipping fees.

The hospital has indicated they will attempt to take some photos and post on social media. I'll keep you updated as I know more.

I dropped off the items at the hospital tonight. The receptionist there did her best to take some photos of me dropping them off. Bless her heart. She really did try her best. I asked her to take some with my camera. Attached to this message is the best looking one. Honest.

Hopefully the ones she took with the hospital camera turned out better. Supposedly they'll be posting on their social media outlets:

Warren Elsmore who many of you know here or if you don't you may have bought his excellent recent book handed over the delivery at Yorkhill in Glasgow today. He is pictured with Claire Hughes from Yorkhill who communicated with the play team and the following sets were supplied.

There should be more updates within the next ten days. A real attempt has been made to tailor the requirements for each hospital and that has caused some delays. The thread here will be kept updated and when everything is complete there will be a front page article with all the pictures and quotes in one place.

Being a part of this has inspired me to start a holiday collection to be donated to a children's hospital from ILUGNY. Thanks for reaching out to me @SirKevbags to help out with the Brickset donation. Now this is another type of "Brickset" effect!

@bmwlego We left the hospital this morning with my friend/translator full of plans for organizing our church to collect Christmas presents to donate. The "Brickset effect" is moving outside the AFOL community :).

I want to thank you Kevin and brickset for your trust and organisation. It was a great experience, and I am very proud of being part of it.It feels good to help those children, I have met a few and it can not be easy every day i must say. I was not able to take pictures of them for privacy reason, but the staff at Astrid lindgren's hospital was very thanksfull, and I am sure those Lego will lighten up their days!

When I arrived this morning to deliver the lego, my contact was not there as she was taking care of a child with her parents, but I said I am here to deliver the lego, and all the staff seemed to know that the "legoman" was coming ;)

and for the lawnmower box...the man at the post office said: why did you buy a lawnmower, you do not have a garden! LOL

Well, it was my turn in the UK to do the Brickset community proud this morning. Took my two little helpers with me to lug our donation up to Ward 24 of Wexham Park Hospital - the Children's Ward.

As with Eric's visit, most staff knew to expect the LEGOman and had told some of the kids to expect something special that morning too. The buzz in the ward was phenomenal and the staff and kids could not have been more appreciative.

I was completely humbled by what I witnessed and felt so proud to have been part of what us all and the Hairy Fairy did for them. I sense our efforts are going to make a big difference in the ward.

Superb effort James. Great work on the delivery and the pictures. We are almost done. Mark has delivered to Wales but pictures sadly were not possible and Christian delivered in Germany this week. By my reckoning that leaves one delivery to complete.

I've been asked loads of times privately what happened to the Australian girl with with the red leg in the pictures provided by @Basta . Well I've been in touch with the hospital. She was injured in a skiing accident and with the help of her pink brick box she has made a recovery.

Just heard from Christian Krutzfeldt who I'm sure many of you know is the LEGO Ambassador for the German LUG 1000steine. Christian responded to my request for help when we had a problem with the handover and brought the Diako hospital in Flensburg on board.

The vast majority of their requests were for Duplo so thats what was supplied. Christian is on the left handing over the sets to Dr Dördelmann. Thanks for helping out Christian!

I was finally able to deliver the Northern California portion of the Brickset/Fairy Bricks donation during the 2013 holidays. It went to Shriners Hospital for Children in Sacramento, CA.

If you recall, half the donation amount went towards sets purchased by @norm103 , who answered my public call to procure sets at the 50% off Target clearance sales, since nothing was available in my area.

The other half of the donation I used to "purchase" sets from my inventory at my cost, which varied between 50-90% off.

Like others, I had contacted the hospital beforehand and spoke to various staff who helped me identify characteristics of sets that worked best for them given the environment and programs in place. Some large sets would go into the community playroom, and smaller sets would be given to children that couldn't interact with the general population. LEGO games, brick buckets and Hero Factory foil bags were pointed out as being particularly useful due to the packaging doubling as storage containers.

Eight of the ubiquitous 70113 CHI Battles that LBR were giving away free made their way into the donation, of course, including one forwarded on to me by @n8er who won the Sopwith in the raffle.

I'm pleased to say that the final retail value of the sets was an amazing $1818!The sets were as follows:

The hospital didn't allow photos with the kids due to patient privacy and general health concerns, so here are photos of the haul and my children and I in the lobby playing the role of santa claus and elves.

Outstanding effort @rocao So this effectively ends things for 2013 raffle fun. Who thinks we can pull it off again this year? Bigger? Perhaps. Better? Definitely not!

Anyone remember the name of the bloke @Jenni beat up when he dared to question why money isn't donated? If I remember correctly I passed over $600 which became $1818. I think that's pretty conclusive that us doing the shopping works :-)
